Bazooka Wrestling

[Aufisher]

Another incredible California day! Ran the Bazooka 48" Prospector and soaked up the sun. Tried running the Bazooka in slower water then I moved it out into the whitewater and the sluice turned slowly and washed downstream! I ran and tackled it, who knows how much blew out lol! The picture is in the slower section. I did OK on the gold and scored my largest piece yet. Not the heaviest but the largest for sure. Enjoy the photos!

Wedge that sluice in there, AU. It will float away, as we both know.

Floating is not unusual as I've had to tie my A-52 down. Nice gold and thank you for sharing the photo's.................63bkpkr

Au... I can just picture you going after that BGT. Must have looked like a bear going after a salmon. Nice chunk as well as some good looking course stuff. Congrats

I run slower than the wind but faster than the flowing water! LOL

Sounds like an awesome day minus the swimming in snowmelt part lol, I'm planning on my super mini floating off too fast to chase down, then ill have no choice but to get a sniper.. Oh darn lol Great job on wrestling down the bazooka, and even better job on that tasty looking gold, looks like a nice picker to me!

Chasing things down the river is all part of the experience: pans, ropes, sluices, gold bottles, been there done that. It keeps you on your toes.

Nice gold you've got there.

All the best,

Lanny

How long did it take for the Bazooka to tap out?

When the ring announcer introduced the opposition as "Big Grizzly and Heavy Gauge", I will admit I was intimidated! But 3 seconds into the first round he ran for cover. I pounced in from behind and locked him in a nasty arm bar! That was it and I walked home with the gold medal. Heavy weight champion!
